Carrie Underwood has made a name for herself in the worlds of both country music and fitness, and she’s done so by having confidence in the individual she is. But Carrie admits she didn’t always have the self-reliance that she enjoys today. Carrie tells Bustle, “When I was younger I worried about what people thought about me. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self what I know now — that trying to fit into someone else’s vision of you will never make you happy.” Fast forward to now, and Underwood says she just focuses on the goals she sets for herself and doing what’s in her best interests.
